Two LG phones added to Verizon's pre-paid lineup

Back in April, we told you that the LG Optimus L3, not its more recently released sequel, would be coming to Verizon as the LG Optimus Zone. Today, Verizon's website shows that the device is available for its pre-paid service. This is about as low-end a device as you could imagine with a 3.2 inch screen offering resolution of 240 x 320. Android 2.3.6 is installed with a single core 800MHz processor under the hood and 4GB of native storage aboard. A 3.2MP camera is on the back of the phone while a 1540mAh battery is keeping the lights on. The phone is all yours for $79.99.

Also added to Big Red's pre-paid roster on Thursday is the LG Optimus Exceed, which is the same phone as the LG Lucid. That means you can expect a 4 inch display with a 480 x 800 resolution and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor driving Miss Daisy. 1GB of RAM is on board along with 8GB of native storage. A 32GB capacity microSD slot extends the storage capability while a 5MP camera sits on the back of the phone. A .3MP snapper is on front of the handset, taking "selfies" and helping you engage in video chat. A 1700mAh cell powers the unit. With Android 4.0.4 installed, the LG Optimus Exceed is priced at $129.99.

As you probably figured out, both models are have 3G connectivity, but do not support 4G.

You to understand that android does update some it's phones remember the nexus s of that came out with froyo too and now it's on ics/jellybean. You can always look some mods for your phone. BTW, It was Motorola fault for not updating your device, and they said you can get $100 off of it.

If you wanna make a retarded reply, do it to someone else's post. First off, not all Android phones come with an outdated OS. Case & point, the Samsung Galaxy S4 that just released with 4.2.2, the latest version of Android. You don't want an outdated OS, don't buy such a crappy phone. Yes, I'm looking squarely at your crappy Triumph that you bought through a crappy prepaid carrier, Virgin Mobile. Secondly, although it involves a little tinkering, you are more than welcome to upgrade your device through your own means at any time. So I say to you once again--don't make retarded replies without knowing what the hell you're talking about. You'll just end up sounding like an idiot.

Firstly, you obviously lack the intelligence to understand the android OS gets dated over time.

Second, I am paying $25 a month for Virgin and it comes to less than $270 for a year of service for the Triumph because I buy the airtime at a discount. Each month, I get 300 anytime minutes and 2.5 GB of data at 3G speeds.

As I stated before (which went over your head), more users than not CANNOT freely upgrade android OS due to restrictions imposed by the carriers. That is a statement of fact.

Again, learn to read like the rest of us -- the operative word that I employed was "freely". It was used for a purpose in the event the reading challenged people on this site decided to show off their ignorance.

There is a difference between "all android devices come with outdated OS" and "android devices come with outdated OS". People who are educated understand the latter is a general comment.

Unfortunately, your "Case & point, the Samsung Galaxy S4 that just released with 4.2.2" demonstrates you didn't get the lesson on general comments.

Then you say: "You don't want an outdated OS, don't buy such a crappy phone."

Again, you are showing off your ignorance. Boost Mobile sells about 9 android models and none of these devices comes with android 4.2. If you go the Virgin's website, it's the same thing -- none of their devices comes with android 4.2

The last point that is lost on g2a5b0e is that this article is about prepaid phones. DUH!

Nokia has proven you can make a decent up to date entry level smartphone for under $150. The entry level customers represents a huge part of android sales, but not one carrier has released one decent entry level android phone. Most have been throwaways. Gingerbread in 2013 is laughable.
